Best hair-highlighting kit
- Simple application
- Lifts color well
- Inexpensive
- Time-consuming
- Flimsy hooking tool
April 2009. Although highlighting your hair is a much more complicated process than applying overall color, reviewers say that the Revlon Frost & Glow highlighting kit is pretty foolproof, especially if you're looking to create subtle highlights. The kit comes with a highlighting cap with strategically placed holes that allow you to create streaks. Hair is pulled through the holes with a plastic hooking tool that users say is too flimsy. Metal hooks, however, can be purchased separately at most beauty supply stores. Revlon Frost & Glow is available in three shades, which reviewers say look as good as professional highlights, but be aware that the whole process takes awhile, and it works better if you have someone to help you do the back of your head. If you want dramatic highlights -- for example, platinum highlights in dark hair -- experts say you're better off leaving this to a professional salon.
Prevention magazine recommends Revlon Frost & Glow, but it isn't clear if any testing was done. User reviews at MakeupAlley.com and TotalBeauty.com provide the best insight into consumer experience.

Prevention magazine says that Revlon Frost & Glow is a gentler option for highlights, since it doesn't contain any ammonia. The highlighting kit also allows you to create subtle or dramatic streaks.
